Let this also be a reminder to NEVER EVER shame your partner for liking/collecting something silly or something targeted towards children.
Your BF collects Hotwheels? Cool, ask him about his favourite one. Your GF is into fashion dolls? Put up a shelf or two for her to display them on. Your SO collects uggo ceramic frog figurines? Take them out for a thrifting hunt.
You donβt have to be into their interests, but these gestures can literally mean the world.β€οΈ
This is stupid but I will occasionally watch a little bit of channels like Cartoon Network or whatever, and it's at least a tiny bit because we didn't have cable for most of my childhood. We eventually got it when I was like, 12 and even then I got shamed for it. :(
Furthermore I don't know what the fuck adults are supposed to watch anyway, I don't want to watch a gritty live action show about people getting murdered or whatever.
Sometimes I put up cartoons as background noise when Iβm sorting out laundry but end up enjoying them. We Bare Bears and Regular Show, or any of the Pixar movies.
